Course Objective

The main objective of the course is to apply simulation models in production and services systems as a decision support tool, learn how to produce random numbers and variables which they are used in simulations, using basic statistics in interpretation of models outcomes and incomes, using Monte Carlo simulation in management problems, using Ms Excel and other simulation software to evaluate performance of different systems.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to identify simulation concept
2   To be able to identify discrete and continuous simulation
3   To be able to understand the relation between simulation and statistics in applications
4   To be able to produce data for modelling
5   To be able to use applications software
6   To be able to produce scripts in application of simulations, interpret the outcomes
